I'm not quite certain if I could give a single personal impression of the tenth season, although I can say more or less right away I'd seem more likely to turn to the first four episodes (although that does include "Girl in Gold Boots" and "Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders") and the last few (including "Hamlet," but maybe not "It Lives by Night") than the ones in the middle. Although I wouldn't disagree with your suggestion about the "transformation" of the show, I'm not certain I could say the tenth season is an "inevitable" outcome of it.
To be honest, beyond a few sample clips I haven't yet watched any of RiffTrax or Cinematic Titanic. I know that Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett turn out riffing on old shorts on a regular basis and have also taken on some "MST3K-type" movies, but the first impression of RiffTrax being "zinging big, modern movies" is something I'm afraid manages to cast a pall on the whole endeavour for me. The feeling "I'm not in this to 'take revenge' on regular targets" might have developed back when I was reading MSTings. Cinematic Titanic seemed more in the "old spirit" to first hear of it, but somehow the first outings didn't grab me and tell me to watch them, either.
